💬 双语例句

  1. This ultimately failed, in part because bankers have huge resources to defend themselves, which foreigners generally do not. But banker-bashing failed to assuage public anger mainly because attacking finance did nothing to boost wages, diminish inequality, or reverse social neglect.

    比如,金融危机爆发后,有人将人们对市场原教旨主义经济学的崩溃的怒火引向“贪婪的银行家 ” 。 这最后以失败告终,部分原因在于银行家拥有巨大的资源可以自卫,而外国人通常没有。 但归咎于银行家无法缓解公众愤怒的主要原因在于攻击金融无助于提高工资、降低不平等性或扭转社会忽视。 最近对外国势力的攻击亦然,不管攻击对象是移民还是贸易。

  2. The second undesirable possibility – that governments with little spending capacity to assuage public anger turn against democracy and free expression – is also remote for now. Democratic institutions in industrial countries are stronger, and have deeper roots, than was the case in the 1930s.
